No, you should not have to apologize for your religious belief....ever. Even if you speak that belief in a public forum or on the street corner, you should not be forced into silence.

By the same token, others should not be forced to comply with your religious code unless their violations of that code also trample on the rights of others (ie murder, rape...etc). There are those in my country who are influencing lawmakers to enact laws to force people to follow the moral codes of one particular religion....Christian fundamentalism.

This thread is about the contrary actions of those people. I want to understand why they feel that the actions of a particular group of people should be stopped while the actions of another group of people, just as much an abomination by Christian standards, is immune from legislation.

Why do these people feel that the teaching of evolution in school should be restricted but the teaching in the mosque should not? Both are influencing the young toward a life without Christ, aren't they?

BTW: I looked and could find no words of Christ that addressed fornication or homosexuality. Could you point them out for me?
